As reported here last week, a second civil lawsuit has been filed against foreclosure rescue operator Metropolitan Money Store (Joy Jackson, Kurt Fordham, et al.), this time in the D.C. Superior Court by the Washington, D.C. Attorney General (the first lawsuit was filed in a Maryland Federal Court seeking class action status).
